Show selected tab in TabView in SwiftUI

Question

When using TabView in SwiftUI, what can I do to show the selected Tab like in the following picture?

I've tried creating a VStack within each tab like this:

struct ContentView: View {
@State public var tabViewSelection = 0
var body: some View {
    TabView(selection: $tabViewSelection) {
        HomeFirstLevel()
            .tabItem {
                VStack {
                    Image("HomeIcon")
                    Rectangle()
                        .frame(height: 7)
                        .foregroundColor((tabViewSelection == 0) ? .black : .clear)
                }
            }.tag(0)
        }
    }
}

But it's not working. I can't even seem to add a Rectangle instead of an Image:

HomeFirstLevel()
   .tabItem {
       Rectangle()
   }.tag(0)

Does TabView not accept shapes? Thanks in advance for the help!

You can not set shape in tabItem. But you can use ZStack to add shape over the tab bar and set the x position.

Here is the demo.

struct ContentViewTabDemo: View {
    @State public var tabViewSelection = 0
    
    private var singleTabWidth = UIScreen.main.bounds.width / 5
    
    var body: some View {
        ZStack(alignment: .bottomLeading) {
            TabView(selection: $tabViewSelection) {
                Color.red
                    .tabItem {
                        VStack {
                            Image(systemName: "circle.fill")
                        }
                    }.tag(0)
                
                Color.blue
                    .tabItem {
                        VStack {
                            Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
                        }
                    }.tag(1)
                
                Color.red
                    .tabItem {
                        VStack {
                            Image(systemName: "circle.fill")
                        }
                    }.tag(2)
                
                Color.blue
                    .tabItem {
                        VStack {
                            Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
                        }
                    }.tag(3)
                
                Color.red
                    .tabItem {
                        VStack {
                            Image(systemName: "circle.fill")
                        }
                    }.tag(4)
            }
            
            Rectangle()
                .offset(x: singleTabWidth * CGFloat(tabViewSelection))
                .frame(width: singleTabWidth, height: 7)
                .padding(.bottom, 2)
                .animation(.default)
        }
    }
}
